Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621406@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241018T063137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CIC Student Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The CIC invites students of all academic backgrounds and varying research experience to join the CIC Student Working Group.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

We illustrate the kinetic and thermodynamic challenges in directing catalytic routes for the conversion of these critical feedstocks to products of higher value in the context of two case studies.\nStrong\, apolar C-H bonds in methane confer significant thermodynamic barriers for non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics. Medium pore MFI zeolites modified by well-dispersed carbidic molybdenum aggregates (MoCx/ZSM-5) reduce kinetic barriers to methane pyrolysis and catalyze dehydroaromatization (DHA) reactions with high benzene (≳ 70%) and aromatic (≳ 95%) selectivity at conversions near the ~10% equilibrium limit at ~950 K. We combine learnings from thermodynamics\, reaction kinetics\, and mass transport to clarify mechanistic observations and ascertain the identity of molecular events\, species\, and catalytic moieties that determine the activity of benchmark DHA catalysts. In doing so\, we illustrate the significance of dispersive hydrogen transport at catalyst-bed length scales during DHA catalysis\, and we leverage this understanding to develop polyfunctional catalytic formulations that alleviate thermodynamic constraints on maximum single-pass conversion in DHA catalysis.\nWe resolve persistent mechanistic questions regarding the selectivity to methanol and CO in competing CO2 hydrogenation pathways\, the reaction intermediates involved\, and the evolution in structure and function of commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst using the general conceptual framework for analyzing rates and reversibility of catalytic reaction sequences. These kinetic analyses provide thermodynamic constraints precluding sequential reverse water gas shift and CO hydrogenation as the pathway for methanol generation\, reveal hydrogen and water as species salient in determining methanol selectivity and yield by impacting both the forward and reverse rates of CO2 hydrogenation on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3\, and illustrate that catalysis occurs on H*- and HCOOH**-saturated surfaces where methanol synthesis proceeds through a formate pathway with rate-determining steps that are dependent on water partial pressures while RWGS proceeds through a carboxylate pathway with one rate-determining step.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Aditya Bhan received his Bachelor of Technology (B.

We show that for a broad class of such graphs\, including the grand arc graph\, the omnipresent arc graph\, and all others defined comparably to Masur-Minsky\, the asymptotic dimension is infinite. In particular\, if one could construct a graph in this class admitting a Švarc-Milnor-type action of Mod(S)\, then Mod(S) would have infinite asymptotic dimension.

Spangler Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and he served as the department's chairperson from 2016 to 2021. Prof. Linderoth holds a courtesy appointment in the Computer Sciences department and as a Discovery Fellow at the Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery. Dr. Linderoth received his Ph.D. degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998. He was previously employed in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory\, with the optimization-based financial products firm of Axioma\, and as an Assistant Professor at Lehigh University. His awards include multiple best paper awards\, an Early Career Award from the Department of Energy\, the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization Prize\, and the INFORMS Computing Society (ICS) Prize. In 2016\, he was elected to membership as an INFORMS Fellow. Dr. Linderoth was once stranded in Marseille with Jon Lee for five days.\n\nAbstract: We consider a two-stage stochastic decision problem where the decision-maker has the opportunity to obtain information about the distribution of the random variables X through a set of discrete actions that we refer to as probing. Specifically\, probing allows the decision-maker to observe components of a random vector Y that is jointly distributed with X. We propose a three-stage optimization model for this problem\, wherein the first-stage variables select components of Y to observe\, and decisions in subsequent stages must be consistent with the obtained information. In the case that X and Y have finite support\, Goel and Grossmann gave a mixed-integer programming formulation of this problem whose size is proportional to the square of cardinality of the sample space of the random variables. We propose to solve the model using bounds obtained from an information-based relaxation\, combined with a branching scheme that enforces the consistency of decisions with observed information. The branch-and-bound approach can naturally be combined with sampling in order to estimate both lower and upper bounds on the optimal solution value. We demonstrate the scalability of our approach against the exact MIP formulation on instances of a stochastic facility location problem.

DEI is particularly necessary for cultivating the next generation of engineers who are representative of the communities that they serve\, assuring that young engineers can achieve success\, regardless of their backgrounds\, and nurturing students throughout their academic journeys. Biomedical engineering design is well-suited to the purposeful integration of DEI because it is human-centric\, emphasizing people's specific needs and creating solutions that may lead to equitable outcomes. In this talk\, I will share efforts that colleagues and I have undertaken to intentionally incorporate DEI into the biomedical engineering design process\, specifically exploring DEI in students' design efforts. From needs finding through prototyping and implementation\, I will show how DEI can be\, and has been\, constructively integrated into biodesign. By sharing this model\, I strive to demystify and de-stigmatize these approaches\, demonstrating the value of including DEI in design education.\n\nBio:\nAaron Kyle is a Professor of the Practice in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. His faculty role focuses on teaching undergraduates with an emphasis on hands-on\, inquiry-based learning. Kyle teaches first year design\, medical device instrumentation\, and capstone design courses at Duke. In addition to working with undergraduates\, Kyle is passionate about engendering engineering identity in Grades 6 – 12 students\, particularly in students from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds. He co-founded and leads the Outreach Design Education (ODE) Program\, an NIH-funded set of activities that revolve around enhancing STEM identity in younger students through engineering design education. As a result of ODE\, over 1000 students in New York and North Carolina have been introduced to engineering design through ODE-associated pre-college programs and courses.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486\n\nQuestions?\nContact Lauren Yanakeff\, yanakeff@umich.edu UID:127012-21858296@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127012 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Education,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240924T142510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T162000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents: DESCRIPTION:\"Constraining cosmic history and cosmic-ray physics with radio emission\"\n\nThe peak in the cosmic star formation rate density—at z ~ 2—also marks the peak of dust attenuation\, making the full census of star formation activity at short wavelengths a measurement fraught with uncertainty. Fortunately\, radio emission from normal galaxies—free-free emission of massive stars\, and synchrotron emission of relativistic electrons shocked in the supernovae remnants of massive stars—is entirely unaffected by dust. It is only now that our telescopes have the sensitivity to constrain the star formation activity of populations of normal galaxies like our Milky Way over nearly all cosmic time. My results reveal a discrepancy between measurements of the SFRD at UV+IR wavelengths and at radio frequencies\, indicating we may be missing over half of the total star formation\, even at redshifts as low as z ~ 0.5. In this talk\, I will review ongoing and future plans to reveal the source(s) of this discrepancy. I will also present recent work on how radio emission from a nearby galaxy is illuminating the roles of cosmic-rays and magnetic fields in the enrichment of the ISM and CGM.

Over algebraically closed fields\, forms of high strength have various desirable geometric properties. In arithmetic applications (non-closed fields)\, it's therefore of considerable interest to bound the strength of a polynomial in terms of its strength over the algebraic closure. We will present a linear bound over Q\, proving a special case of a conjecture of Adiprasito\, Kazhdan and Ziegler. In the course of the proof\, we obtain a stronger result on rational solutions to systems of multi-linear equations\, which may be of independent interest.

Although Collins embraces a language of abstraction\, bold colors\, patterns\, and symbols allude to queer and feminist references\, sourcing further inspiration from interpersonal and environmental forces such as electricity\, volatility\, connectivity\, and energy exchange. Whether in the form of textile\, painting\, drawing\, or installation\, Collins frequently explores the dichotomy of structure and entropy—qualities inherent to textile that speak to the fissures present in broader architectural\, political\, and social structures. \n\nCollins’s current and forthcoming exhibitions include the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia\, Foreigners Everywhere\, curated by Adriano Pedrosa\, and Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction\, curated by Lynne Cooke\, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles\, CA\; the National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, DC\; the National Gallery of Canada\, Ottawa\, ON\; and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, NY. In 2025\, Collins will have a mid-career retrospective curated by Kate Irvin at the RISD Museum in Providence\, RI\, with an accompanying monograph.\n\nCollins has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Knoxville Museum of Art\, Knoxville\, TN\; the Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\, NY\; the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\; Touchstones Rochdale\, Rochdale\, UK\, among others. She has been featured in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, MA\; the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, New York\, NY\; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles\, CA\; the National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, DC\; the New Museum\, New York\, NY\; The Drawing Center\, New York\, NY\; and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, NY\, among others.

Brian Rose\, professor of Mediterranean archaeology and curator-in-charge of the Mediterranean Section at the Penn Museum. \n\nThe West Sanctuary at Troy (Ilion) was one of the main religious complexes at the site during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The sanctuary is exceptional due to its rich assemblage of votive objects and integration of the cults of Cybele\, Dardanus\, and the Samothracian Gods. All of these cults are tied to Ilion’s Homeric heritage\, as well as to the Romans\, once they began promoting their Trojan ancestry. This talk provides an overview of the significance of the West Sanctuary and the strategies that we employed in its architectural conservation. The latter subject\, in turn\, is tied to the question of how an archaeologist handles or mishandles the staging of history.\n\nThis event is being presented as part of our Thursday Night Lecture Series\, happening on select months during the academic year. Please join us in the Rackham Amphitheatre (located on the fourth floor of the Rackham Building) for an evening centered on exciting archaeological research and related topics.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

His latest project\, Where Are We\, marks the first time that Joshua has included a vocalist (Gabrielle Cavassa) on a record\, and features Aaron Parks on piano\, Joe Sanders on bass\, and Brian Blade on drums\; with special guests Nicholas Payton (trumpet)\, Kurt Rosenwinkel (guitar)\, Peter Bernstein (guitar)\, and Joel Ross (vibes). Joshua notes that “the surface concept of WHERE ARE WE is rather simple: each of the songs on the album is about\, or at least makes reference to\, a specific geographical location (city or state or region) in the United States: Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Philadelphia\,” Count Basie’s “Going To Chicago\,” Rodgers & Hart’s “Manhattan” and John Coltrane’s Alabama\,” etc etc… So\, on one level\, this is an album “about” America — at once a celebration and a critique. But it is also\, to varying degrees\, a ballads album\, a standards album\, an album of romantic longing\, an album of social reflection\, an album of melodic invention\, an album of improvisational adventure\, an album of mashups (stylistic and titular)\, perhaps even a tribute album of sorts.”\n\nConceived and planned during the pandemic lockdown\, states Joshua\, “it was a dream come true to finally have a chance to connect Aaron\, Joe\, and Brian — 3 of the most sublimely lyrical and deeply grooving musicians on the planet\, who\, somehow\, had never before played together as a rhythm section. And it was a transformative experience to collaborate with Gabrielle — a vocalist of uncommon style\, sincerity\, and soul. This was my first time ever recording with a singer on one of my own projects\, and I relished the challenge of discovering and inhabiting new musical roles for myself — not only as a featured soloist and “lead” but also as a supportive accompanist and interlocutor. The magic of this particular gathering of musicians was that we were able to come together from points afar\, to converge (physically and creatively) in a particular place at a particular time\, and to embrace\, with the fullest imagination and without the slightest reservation\, the ethic of “serving the songs.” In this sense\, WHERE ARE WE is perhaps above all\, a meditation on the power and importance of place — the unique human beauty created when we locate ourselves in shared physical spaces together with others\; the loss\, anomie\, and angst suffered when we divide ourselves unnaturally and unjustly apart.”\n\nThis concert is sponsored by the A2 JAZZ FEST.

To achieve this\, LPS pairs fifth-tenth grade students (“pre-scientists”) in low-income US communities with STEM professionals from around the world for a year-long\, pen-pal relationship facilitated during science class. Through a highly personalized matching process\, the students learn about different science careers and higher education pathways from an individual STEM professional who shares similar hobbies\, interests\, and/or life experiences. LPS opts for this “snail-mail” approach in order to maximize the program's accessibility for all students\, reaching those that are not traditionally targeted by STEM extracurriculars. In this Conversions in Equity and Inclusion\, I will introduce the program and its unique approach to cultivating meaningful relationships between scientists and students who have limited access to traditional outreach efforts.

We first reformulate the hypothesis testing problem via sufficient dimension reduction framework. With the aid of new reformulation\, we propose a new test statistic and show that its asymptotic distribution is chi-square distribution whose degree of freedom does not depend on the unknown population distribution. We further conduct power\nanalysis under local alternative hypotheses. In addition\, we study how to control the false discovery rate of the proposed chi-square tests\, which are correlated\, to identify important predictors under a model-free framework. To this end\, we propose a multiple testing procedure and establish its theoretical guarantees. Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed tests and an empirical analysis of a real-world data set is used to illustrate the proposed methodology.\n\nhttps://science.psu.edu/stat/people/ril4 UID:124536-21853166@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124536 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240930T134801 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T123000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Chai with the BLI DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in…\n\n- Learning more about the BLI and our upcoming opportunities (ALA 174)?\n- Joining a welcoming\, supportive community?\n- Meeting super awesome students from across campus who are also interested in elevating their leadership learning?\n- Connecting with current student leaders at an in-person social with chai and donuts?\n\nJoin us on October 4th from 11:00 AM-12:30 PM outside Weiser Hall for an informal meet and greet where you can chat with current student and program leaders\, learn more about our upcoming opportunities\, and stay for chai and donuts!

These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

This talk explores how these developments have resulted in selective and constrained forms of representation and upward mobility for non-elite\, non-metropolitan communities such as kothis and hijras\, an overlapping spectrum of rans feminine people often assigned male at birth. Drawing on my forthcoming book Globalizing through the Vernacular: Kothis\, Hijras\, and the Making of Queer and Trans Identities in India\, I will explore how these communities facilitate the transregional expansion of organized queer politics\, yet often remain irreducible to emerging identity categories and become subordinated through linguistic and scalar hierarchies that reinforce class and caste inequities within and beyond LGBTQ communities. To understand this process\, the book offers the analytic of ‘vernacularization’ – not in its usual sense as the translation of global/transnational discourses into the local or vernacular\, but as the positioning of certain communities and discourses as local/vernacular in the first place. The talk will explore how this process denies vernacularized communities an equal role in (trans)national LGBTQ politics and delegitimizes or effaces articulations of gender/sexual difference that contravene dominant \nunderstandings of gender/sexual identity aligned with transnational capitalism\, liberalism\, caste\, and/or nationalism. Simultaneously\, it will explore how non-elite communities rearticulate dominant LGBTQ discourses in more liberatory ways.\n\nAniruddha Dutta is an Associate Professor of Gender\, Women’s\, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa.

By leveraging the transformer architecture\, these models attempt to learn the language of chemistry and discover robust molecular embeddings. However\, current models are constrained by tokenizers that fail to capture the full breadth of chemical space or even the periodic table of elements. In his talk\, Alex will introduce smirk\, a new tokenizer for molecular foundation models that can represent the entirety of the OpenSMILES specification. We'll also discuss performance metrics for tokenizers and the results of Alex's systematic evaluation of thirteen chemistry-specific tokenizers using N-gram language models as a low-cost proxy for transformer models.

Archaeologists have hypothesized that the stark cultural shift in the Western Lake Erie region\, from the Late Woodland period to the “the Wolf phase\,” could represent warfare and displacement of local Late Woodland peoples by Upper Mississippian aggressors\, but this hypothesis has remained unsubstantiated by archaeological data. The other hypothesis suggested a local adaptation to a changing climate and sociopolitical environment.\n\nThe Maumee Archaeological Landscape Project (M.A.L.P.) adopts both a local and regional approach to address the cause of the cultural shift at ca. AD 1250 in the Maumee River valley. This dissertation research project presents new data from excavations at a ditch-enclosed village from the Williams #2 site (33-WO-7b) at Buttonwood property\, along with new radiocarbon dates and ceramic analyses from local sites. New data suggests that defense likely was a major cause for the heightened sedentism seen throughout the river valleys of Western Lake Erie\; however\, the local displacement hypothesis is not supported. Rather\, increasing regional hostility and tensions likely triggered migration into the river valleys of Western Lake Erie\, co-habitation with communities connected through alliance\, and ensuing ethnogenesis with local Late Woodland peoples.

Dr. Wilson's research asks big questions about how racism\, sexism\, and class dynamics impact the career paths of craft beer’s workers\, exploring how men tend to move into creative roles of authority\, whereas women are steered towards hospitality and working-class or Latinx workers into warehouse roles. While some of this is not surprising\, the heart of this talk is a critique of what it means to pursue a career of passion. Many people\, including those who might have traditionally pursued a white-collar career\, are drawn to the world of craft brewing because they want to be involved with something they love. They want to create\, make a craft\, be an artisan. But at what cost to themselves – and for those around them?

Alternatively\, implementability can be characterized by an optimality condition related to an induced matching problem between types and alternatives. In an important class of environments where types satisfy a generalized “one-dimensionality” property\, implementability is equivalent to a simple monotonicity condition where “higher” types receive “higher” alternatives. Using this finding\, we show that for a single object auction\, more allocation rules are implementable if either the type space is less dense or the extent of preference interdependence is less severe. For environments without transfers\, nontrivial implementation is possible only when preferences exhibit sufficient independence. In the context of binary and ternary voting models\, we illustrate how this condition significantly constrains the scope of implementation.

In spite of their differences in tools\, there is large intersection in their conceptual approach to design. In this talk\, we exploit this commonality to take an abstract view of systems and their composition. We understand systems and subsystems in terms of their assume-guarantee specifications\, or contracts.\n \nAssume-guarantee contracts are formal specifications that state (i) the assumptions that a design element makes on its environment and (ii) the guarantees it delivers when the environment behaves according to the contract's assumptions. Contracts come with a rich algebra that allows us to carry out several design-relevant tasks: obtaining system-level specifications from component specifications\, finding specifications of components that need to be added to a design in order to meet an objective\, etc. We will introduce the algebra of contracts and discuss how the various algebraic operations relate to system-design tasks. We will then provide a universal characterization of contracts as the adjoint of a well-known functor. Time permitting\, we will discuss the application of this methodology and Pacti\, a software package that supports system design using contracts\, in areas ranging from space-mission design to autonomous vehicles.

We focus on the problem of deciding whether two given quivers are mutation equivalent to each other. Our approach is based on introducing an additional structure of a cyclic ordering on the set of vertices of a quiver. This leads to new powerful invariants of quiver mutation. These invariants can be used to show that various quivers are not mutation acyclic\, i.e.\, they are not mutation equivalent to an acyclic quiver. This talk is partially based on joint work with Sergey Fomin [arXiv:2406.03604].

Such algebra structure encodes the combined effect of multiple impurities on physical observables at long distances as well as the interactions among the impurities. These features are formalized by a fusion product which we define for a pair of defects\, after isolating divergences that capture the effective potential between the defects. These divergences generalize the usual Casimir energy and define a novel effective field theory for defects. We discuss general properties of the corresponding fusion algebra and give explicit examples. We also derive universal formulas for defect structure constants from the defect effective field theory.

Despite decades of SWMP data being amassed – and the Reserve System’s interest in investigating long-term changes in estuarine systems – limited personnel capacity has often prevented these datasets from being fully utilized. To address this need\, a catalyst project developed a graduate level class at University of Wisconsin-Madison for Spring 2024 with dual learning objectives: a technical objective to learn ecological big data skills and a collaborative objective to learn how to conduct user-driven collaborative science. In this webinar\, the project team will share their journey of developing and implementing the class\, highlight student findings\, and demonstrate analyses that they used to address science and management questions. They will also discuss lessons learned along the way and future opportunities for this teaching model to be used by the NERRS and partners.

Using metagenomics and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing\, we found that AOA are more abundant than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria\, except in the freshwater stations in SFB. Surprisingly\, in South SFB we observed recurrent AOA blooms of “Candidatus Nitrosomarinus catalina” SPOT01-like organisms\, which account for over 20% of the overall microbial community and co-occur with weeks of high nitrite concentrations (>10 μM) in the oxic water column. We also observed pronounced nitrite peaks occurring in the autumn for 7 of the last 9 years\, suggesting that seasonal AOA blooms are common in South SFB. To carefully examine the dynamics and activity of nitrifying microorganisms over the course of an AOA bloom in South SFB\, we measured nitrification rates\, quantified AOA abundance\, and analyzed both metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data during the autumn of 2018 and seasonally throughout 2019. Overall\, our study confirms that AOA are not only abundant but also highly active during blooms oxidizing large amounts of ammonia to nitrite—a key intermediate in the microbial nitrogen cycle—and producing reactive compounds that may impact other members of the microbial community.

Freedom. Power. This wild & fresh adaptation of one of the greatest political tragedies in theatrical history opens up the traditional confines of the narrative to explore the still-beating heart that resonates loudly in today’s political landscape. \n\nAdapted & directed by Priscilla Lindsay\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+\n\n*Content Advisory*\nContains depictions of intimacy\, violence and death by suicide.\n\n*Friday Post-Show Discussions*\n\nThe company of \"Julius Caesar\" will host two post-show discussions\, immediately following the two performances on Friday nights.\n\nThe October 4 post-show discussion will focus on how this production of Julius Caesar\, with an all-women cast\, challenges traditional notions of power and leadership by placing women in roles historically played by men. The portrayal of ambition\, loyalty\, and betrayal takes on new meaning when viewed through the lens of gender\, raising important questions about how women in leadership are perceived and judged today. As we approach the 2024 presidential election\, this performance invites us to reflect on the barriers women face in political life and how public rhetoric\, like that seen in the play\, continues to shape our understanding of authority and influence in modern society. The conversation will be led by M. Candace Christensen (they/them)\, an associate professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, and Ashley Lucas (she/her)\, a professor in the Department of Theatre & Drama.\n\n UID:122721-21849569@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122721 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241002T121658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241004T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band Chamber Winds DESCRIPTION:The Symphony Band Chamber Winds present a diverse program of substantial works for winds led by four of the current members of the band conducting graduate studio.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621408@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241005T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241005T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).
